administration with the need as he stated over and over again for new faces and diversity. i think the problem that he has, dana, quite frankly, is that the margins in the house and senate, no matter who gets control of the senate, are so narrow that the more people he picks from the house, the more dangerous it becomes for nancy pelosi. i think she will have a majority of what, three now in the house? and that's difficult for her. perhaps one of the reasons he didn't pick someone to be in the administration like chris coons or elizabeth warren is that he needs them to stay in the senate for votes. so that's something else he has to balance here. >> before i let you go, gloria, you spent a lot of time with the bidens, you talked to the president-elect about the tragedy that was 48 years ago today, today is the 48th anniversary of the car accident that killed his first wife and his daughter, naomi. joe biden and his wife, jill, walked into church this morning to say a prayer to commemorate this very sad day. as i said, you talked to him so many times about issues of grief. w
